Dragonborn
Appearance
Draconic humanoids, generally sporting tails and scale patterns that resemble the typical chromatic and metallic dragons.
Naming Convention
Dragonborn typically don't have a naming convention relevant to their culture, though russian or slavic names are often found. A few dragonborn have had exotic names, such as Ts'kal (pronounced by pursing your tongue and lips like a tisk sound Se-caal)
Biology
Dragonborn are roughly the same average heights as Humans, spanning from the low five feet to mid six feet range. They have dragon-like scales and tails that match their draconic head shape. Dragonborns also have a breath weapon much akin to their draconic counterparts. They can come in any standard chromatic or metallic color, though you're more likely to find chromatic dragonborns.
Geography
Dragonborn cultural center is in the northern section of the great mountain range that spans the heart of Erendia, and they tend to spread from there. Many have found their way into societies across the continent.
Kobold
Appearance
Kobolds resemble Dragonborn in appearance, but are much smaller, much more akin to Halflings than humans. They have more muted features and are often mistaken for the fictional lizardfolk.
Naming Convention
Kobold names can vary wildly depending on their upbringing and the circumstances of their lives. A Kobold integrated into society, which is fairly rare, might take on a normal name such as Korbin, but a Kobold that lives its entire life in a burrow with its peers might be named after something arbitrarily important to the local group, such as 'Rock' or 'Creek'.
Biology
Kobolds generally stand between 2.5 and 4 feet tall. They have scaly hides much like their draconic counterparts but they lack the breath weapon that the others take on. Their features are less sharp, often sporting webbed bat-like ears or small horns rather than the crests that can be found commonly on Dragonborns or the more draconic Dragonkin.
Geography
Kobolds live in burrows all over Erendia, often grouping based on family ties. Some have joined regular society, but like Goblins, they aren't particularly well-received due to the reputation that Kobolds have for being nuisances when packed together.
Dragon
Appearance
These legendary creatures are instantly recognizable by their massive wings, scaly hides, and often extravagant crests. They are the largest sentient race in Erendia and are considered to be the highest of apex predators.
Naming Convention
Draconic names are varied as they are mysterious. From Glauram to Raxis, they can be just about any combination of syllables, and often accompanied by a title of some kind. For example, a green dragon might be named Aphroxx, the Green, or Aphroxx, the Whisper of Trees.
Biology
They are capable of growing quite large, with the largest specimen recorded in recent history residing near Titan's Rest, though it's size is still unknown in specifics due to the distance at which it was observed, but estimates indicate that the dragon may have lived prior to the Shattering. Dragons in all cases sport a pair of powerful wings as well as four viciously clawed legs. Their heads are adorned with crests of horns and scales and their eyes often glow with resonant energy. Their scales can vary in color, from the reds and blues of the chromatic genus to the patina bronze and clear gold of the metallic genus.
Geography
Dragons are unwaveringly territorial, and due to their size and range, this means they are spread quite far across Erendia, though they are very few in number. An adult dragon could control an entire coastline for hundreds of miles, such as Glauram, the Mariner on the Silver Coast. Despite this, and the fact they are functionally immortal, dragons do occasionally mate when the urge rises. Dragons tend to mate when they are around another with a similar goal or intellectual level, and mating results in the laying of one to three eggs, which are usually hidden by the parents in places they think will be easy to survive at first.
Dragonkin
Appearance
These brutal creatures are a race not native to Erendia. They are considered to be extinct and their civilizations were lost many centuries prior to the Shattering. The only thing we know about them is that they were large, humanoid creatures that shared the wings and crests of their dragon cousins.
Naming Convention
We don't know the names of Dragonkin, though translations of ancient carvings indicate they may have had a complex naming system that was shortened for convenience. For example a name like Kriltaga'shokir would've been shortened to Kril or Kriltaga.
Biology
Biologically we are unsure of Dragonkin, though archeological discovery has yielded some manner of understanding. They were like dragonborn, but bore wings and had more draconic features around their claws and heads.
Geography
Currently there are no known Dragonkin societies, or even individuals living on Erendia. Excavation of a ruin in the Starlight Basin has yielded indicators that a Dragonkin society may have existed long ago in this region. It is theorized that the Dragon Temple was constructed by Dragonkin.
